Finally, our manuscript entitled “Balancing selection on a Regulatory Region Exhibiting Ancient Variation That Predates Human–Neandertal Divergence” was published in PLoS Genetics. You can find it here… It is Open Access. Also, link to the post […]
I am giving a talk tomorrow at AAPAs that touches on the impact of genomic structural variation on the phenotypic diversity within and between primate species. For more details: Link

We have been busy for some time helping Dr. Peter Park’s group in Harvard School of Public Health to validate and fine-tune calling somatic transposable elements (TEs) in human genome and, more importantly, in genomes of cancer

We have a new review paper in Trends in Genetics regarding the role of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) in human adaptation. I think, it lays out some of the emerging promises (and hardships) of the field and
I have had the opportunity to work on the evolutionary aspects of the extensive copy number variation observed among several zebrafish strains. I am pleased to inform you that our study was accepted to be

A study that was looking into genomes of different primate species to understand the evolutionary mechanisms underlying “plastic” regions of the primate genomes was published in Genome Biology. It is one of the “Editor’s Picks”
I was invited to give a talk at American Association of Anthropological Genetics (AAAG). The organizers of the symposium were Graciela Cabana and Lorena Havill. I think, they did a great job of putting together
